The final action taken by Germany that prompted President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war was the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917. This aggressive military strategy threatened American ships and lives, leading to the sinking of several vessels, including the Lusitania in 1915 and later incidents that endangered American citizens. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States, further inflamed public opinion and galvanized support for entering the war. These factors combined led Wilson to advocate for U.S. involvement on the side of the Allies.
Germany
The allied air force strategic bombing campaign thoroughly devastated Germany.
Three things that led the Congress and President Roosevelt to declare war on Germany were:Japan attacked the United States. This was the impetus that finally allowed the president and congress to declare war on both Germany and Japan.Britain was desperate for help. Winston Churchill had sent numerous requests for the assistance of the US.Hitler's invasion and murders in other countries moved the US to stop Hitler in his tracks.
In World War II (as distinct from World War I), the long-planned but often-delayed strike on Germany that finally opened a genuine Second (and Western) Front arrived on June the 6th of 1944. Often referred to as "D-Day", this invasion took place in the Normandy region of France and was successful in leading to the eventual overthrow of Nazi Germany.
They were surrounded , their air force was decimated, most of their army was gone.
1) The British found a letter written by Germany that tried to get Mexico to declare war on the USA, and 2) Germany said they were going to resume unrestricted submarine warfare and sink any ships (civilian or military) sailing between the USA and England. These two actions finally provoked President Wilson to ask the Congress to declare War on Germany.

The United States' participation in World War I was primarily triggered by a combination of factors, including unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, which resulted in the sinking of civilian ships like the Lusitania, and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the US. These events, alongside growing economic ties to the Allies and a desire to protect American interests, ultimately swayed public opinion and led President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war in April 1917.

It was really tempted to fight against the growing dictatorship of Germany. Finally Congress declared war on Germany in April 6, 1917 after the failed treaties between America and Germany.
